📣 Update on the 491 Regional Skilled Visa in NSW! 🌟

NSW announced TWO pathways for the 491 visa:

🛤️ Pathway 1: Direct Application with NSW

· If you have been living and working in regional NSW for at least 12 months, and
· Have been working with the same employer for at least 12 months,
· After the date you are legally “deemed skilled”, and
· Have been working in your nominated (or closely related) occupation, and
· Are being paid a minimum salary of $70,000 (pro rata if you are working under 38 hours per week),
and
· Can meet all the other usual requirements.

If yes, this pathway is for you!

🛤️ Pathway 2: Invitation by NSW

If you are not eligible to submit a Nomination application with NSW for a 491 visa under Pathway 1, you may want to try being invited under Pathway 2.

• You must have been residing in NSW for a minimum of 3 consecutive months, or if you are currently offshore you must have been offshore for at least 3 months.

These two pathways will open soon.

Whether you're eligible for Pathway 1 or 2, or just need advice on these changes, we're here to guide you through the process.

📢 Important Reminder for Student Visa Holders! 🇦🇺

Just a friendly reminder for our student visa holders in Australia. As of July 1, 2023, some changes were implemented regarding work restrictions:

🕒 Since July 1, 2023, student visa holders can work for a maximum of 48 hours per fortnight while their course or training are in session.

📚 During these periods, please keep in mind these work restrictions. However, the good news is that when your course or training are not in session, there are no work restrictions. You can utilize this time to gain valuable work experience during your breaks!

🌟 These changes were put in place to help you concentrate on obtaining a quality Australian education while contributing to Australia's workforce needs.

🦠 A bit of context: work restrictions were initially relaxed during the pandemic and completely removed in January 2022 to address workforce shortages. However, it's important to note that this change came to an end as of June 30, 2023.

Stay informed and continue to make the most of your Australian study experience! 📖👩‍🎓💼

Did you Know:

Registering your relationship in Australia can help you be eligible to apply for a partner visa faster.
To register your relationship, you and your partner must be over 18, not related, and not already married or in a registered relationship.
You can register your relationship in most Australian states or territories, with the exception of Western Australia and Tasmania, and you don't need to have lived together for any specific amount of time.
Once your relationship is registered, you can apply for a partner visa without having to meet the 12-month cohabitation requirement.
Registering your relationship is a simple process that can save you time and stress when applying for a partner visa.
